[Linux] Dwarf Therapist 25.0 | 0.40.10 | amd64 deb

Thank you for providing this.

I ran into some trouble running it; I'd be grateful for any help:

/usr/bin/DwarfTherapist: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Qml.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My distro is Crunchbang 11, based on Debian 7. As far as I understand it, Qt5 isn't supported. I tried following the instructions to build from source and "qmake" gave me this:

Project MESSAGE: Release Mode
Project MESSAGE: Setting up for Linux
Project MESSAGE: Warning: unknown QT: concurrent
Project MESSAGE: Warning: unknown QT: widgets

After that I ran "make -j$(nproc)" anyway to see what would happen. Result was a lot of output that looked promising but ended with:

make: *** [bin/release/dfinstancelinux.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Are there any relatively easy ways to fix this (that is, without installing a different distro or risking the operation of my current system)?

Thanks,
James

I'm stuck on my outdated ibook G4 for at least a couple months until I can save the money to fix my PC.  I decided to try out Linux as I can't afford upgrading MacOS.  I have Xubuntu running fine now...it was easier than installing Windows XP, though I still need to get a few non-essentials working.

Which leads to my question: can DF run in Linux on powerpc hardware?  And if so, how?  I've tinkered around with Linux many years ago, but I'm essentially a newbie.  I've downloaded the linux 31.08, but clearly there is more to it than just double-clicking.

On a more useful note, I'm playing with a PPC Mac and my colors are normal.

I'm on a PPC Mac (iBook G4, 10.3.9) and I can't get 31.08 to run.  What am I missing?

I believe that it's actually in the preserve of the artist?

True enough, I suppose.  Though I'm glad I brought it up; I'd never heard of Cloud Gate.  It's quite extraordinary.

One could argue, however, that it's a sculpture that takes on the aforementioned attribute of a statue whenever it is being viewed.

Wow.  That sounds like a good way to make a tough game.  Good work.

I couldn't find any evidence that anyone had tried this, so here you go:

In a new and unmodded world (version 40d) I embarked with 7 peasants to a random hillside location and assigned three of them to dig different tunnels (to my knowledge rock type doesn't affect the experience gain from mining, but I figured it was an easy way to be sure).

All three gained Novice Miner after digging out 50 tiles of rock each.

I reverted to a backup copy of the world, and added the [SLOW_LEARNER] tag to the dwarven entry in creature_standard.txt (I don't know if it matters, but I added it directly below the [INTELLIGENT] tag).

I embarked to the same location with 7 new peasants, and assigned them to dig straight tunnels in the same places as before.  This time they couldn't finish before taking a booze break; I made sure they returned to the same tunnels they started.

Each gained Novice Miner after 84 tiles of digging.

50*1.67 = 83.50

I didn't have time to test this further, so I suppose it's possible that there is a sliding scale or something.  I hope so, as a 67% increase in experience required to gain a skill level will still create invincible champions far too quickly.  Still, assuming all jobs are equally affected, then those of us who feel that it is too easy to create an ultra-powerful military will be able to lessen the problem somewhat.

I don't have time to play much right now, so I'd like to hear from anyone who tries this out whether strange moods will no longer give enough experience to create legendary dwarves.

Also, I'd love it if someone managed to hack this to create a *3 or *4 or *5 multiplier, but I'm afraid that goes far beyond my skills.

You said you took children out of the game.  I vaguely recall a thread where someone determined that setting either of those numbers to zero caused an immigration bug.  Try setting the entry in the init to [BABY_CHILD_CAP:1:1].

I recently upgraded from Windows 2k to XP Home w/ SP2.  When I play DF I now get this type of view, which changes at a rate that appears to be my g_fps setting (10).

In most frames the streaks originate from the upper left corner of the game canvas, as below:

Every several frames or so there are starbursts like this:

The pictures shown here are from a save I imported from the previous OS, and 33g--however, these glitches also occur during the intro animation as well as the embarkation screen on a newly created world, so it seems safe to assume they aren't caused by a corrupted save file.

The game appears to run fine and at the speed I am used to, but it's unplayable as far as my eyes are concerned.

Computer specs:

AMD Athlon XP 2500+ on an Asus A7V8X-X mainboard
ATI Radeon 9800 PRO (128 MB)
1 GB RAM
Samsung Syncmaster 172x LCD display

I have the most current drivers for the monitor, mainboard, and video card.

Thanks.
